[AS THE WORLD TURNS]

I hope ATWT goes up again if not atleast the HH goes up. I want all soaps to go up though.

[Llantano Incorporated]

I am glad to see OLTL at a 1.2 in the demos.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

It snowed a lot in the east coast from Wednesday to Friday last week, so I expect some bumps.

Schools were even closed for a day or two in some cities last week.

This bad weather is helping the soaps .... again.

[Darcy]

So, AMC is back to being ABC's last place soap at least in the key demos.

[AS THE WORLD TURNS]

It's been at a 1.2 for a while.

No it's not it's been in last place of the ABC soaps in the 18-49 demo for awhile.

[Angela]

I think it beat OLTL in actual 18-49 numbers for the past 2-3 weeks of ratings.

They were closed in NYC on Friday, 3rd biggest snow storm ever in the city. I don't know if I see bumps (it seems apparent total viewership went down for a few from that release) but last weeks weather probably did delay the falls back to a more normal range for another week.

[Saving ATWT]

GH seems to have come back to life--again. They do have a really young viewer base but seem to have lost so many long time fans.

[me4ryky]

Unfortunately, it seems the GH goal for the past year or two has been to alienate the longtime viewers enough that they'd leave. The new young base will stick around while their favorite are together now, but will they stay for the long haul is the real question. With all the abusive & dysfunctional relationships being shown on GH every week, it's a wonder they have rebounded lately.

[Llantano Incorporated]

GH is always like the Phoenix, it rises from the ashes every time.

I have always felt that only Days and GH have a passionate fanbase that seems to be "built in". They are either passed down from mother to daughter, ect or have an audience that WILL come back when the show interest them. They really are the legacy "name" shows left on daytime.

I used to feel that way about Y&R, but I really think that the lunch time timeslot affects that show's ratings more than anything, and the fact that it's "older" skewing audience is set in their ways.

AMC's resurgence has surprised me but I don't expect it to last.

[AS THE WORLD TURNS]

I heard that Kristina gets beat up really bad by her boyfriend. So it could make people tune out cause it happens to alot of people and they prolly don't want to see something like a young girl getting beat really bad by her boyfriend.

[Ann_SS]

For all the online and soap mag criticism, the fall out from Sonny shooting Dante has been a boon for GH. The viewers have stuck around for the whole of February sweeps.

Y&R's demos also continue to be strong. They should have made sure that the Adam reveal happened during sweeps and build to his murder in May sweeps.

I'm disappointed that AMC's demos continue to be weak.

[DRW50]

The real problem is that since this is GH, they may think that Kiefer beating Kristina = love, especially since that annoying little Molly has repeatedly told us that Kiefer and Kristina are the ideal.

[Mr. Vixen]

So-So week in all...GH is still lagging in those total viewers (though it IS up from last year)...But it is killing in the demos.

OLTL is killing in the demos too...So I think the worry needs to shift to B&B.
